A/N: it's short I know I know but oh well!
Disclaimer: same as always
Ginny got done telling Hermione about Tim and how he turned out to be Tom and how Tom ad killed Collin and also how she had regretted ever living on this earth. Why must it be her, it could have been something or someone else, but it was her. Hermione gave Ginny a tissue as tears slowly made their way down to Ginny's chin.
"Ginny, Timothy can not be Tom Riddle. Tom was just a memory, Ginny, I don't know what happened to you down in the Chamber, but I do know that you are a very special person. You deserve someone special like yourself, and I really think Tim is the one." Hermione said wiping Ginny's tears away.
"Hermione, don't you get it? Tim is Tom and how can I, how can I trust someone that'll -- that'll," Ginny started crying again.
Hermione just sat there giving Ginny tissues and finally when the sun went down and everyone went up stairs Ginny laid on the couch and cried herself to sleep.

Ginny woke earl in the morning to the sight of Tim sitting next to her. At first she thought it was all just a dream, but then Tim turned into Tom and he brushed the hair out of Ginny's face.
"Ginny, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad like that," Tom said with sympathy in his eyes.
"Tom? What -- What did you do?" Ginny asked confused in her own mind.
"Ginny, don't say a word. I just want you to know that I love you, and I am sorry," Tom said kissing Ginny's forehead.
"Tom, I am sorry too. Although I am not sure what for. You did really hurt me, the first time and the second time and now this. I'm not sure what to do any more, I don't know weather to love you or hate you or just ignore you, but what I do know is that you are the only one that is special to me." Ginny said looking up into Tom's eyes.
"Well, let's start over," Tom said starring straight into Ginny's eyes.
"Ok, I am Ginny Weasley, what is your name?" Ginny asked.
"My name is Thomas M. Riddle and I have come to Hogwarts to be closer to the one I love," Tom said.
"And who is that?" Ginny asked brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You." Tom said guiding Ginny's head with his hand so their lips met, and the kiss was short yet sweet, and Ginny smiled at Tom when they pulled apart.
"I hope you don't mind if -- if I call you Tim around my friends, that way they don't know our secret," Ginny said and Tom smiled.
"Of course not," Tom said and her took Ginny's arms and guided her up the stairs to her dorm so she could change.
Tom changed back into Tim as he stood outside Ginny's door and waited for her to come out. When she finally came out they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Ginny sat next to Tom and held his hand and as Hermione came into the Great Hall Ginny smiled at her and said thank you. Hermione smiled back and sat next to Harry, who was glaring over at Tom in a jealous kind of way, and Ron, who was trying to be a big brother and made sure Tom didn't make a wrong move.
Ginny laughed at Ron and let Tom put his arm around her as she ate her breakfast.
Ginny was having the best day of her life, for now that is.
